Eid-El-Fitr: Gov Fubara calls for unity, tolerance

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has enjoined Muslim faithful to ensure peace, unity and harmony in the society for a better future and as part of the attributes imbibed during the holy month of Ramadan as directed by God through His Prophet.

The Governor gave the charge in his message of felicitations to Muslims as they celebrate the 2024 Eid-el-Fitr Sallah, which marks the end of the one-month Ramadan fasting.

He emphasised the importance of Muslims upholding the tenets of Islam by exhibiting the fear of God and showing piety in their daily work.

Fubara said: “We must all continue in the good attributes imbibed during the holy month of Ramadan as directed by God through His Prophet, so as to ensure peace, unity and harmony in the society for a better future.”

While praying that the essence of the festival offers them happiness, peace and prosperity in all aspects of life, Governor Fubara said he recognised and appreciated the critical role the Muslim community continues to play in the development of Rivers State, and indeed, Nigeria at large.

He charged them to remain unwavering and steadfast in their commitment and positive contributions to advance the development of the state and the country.

“I enjoin you all in the state to remain calm, be patient and continue to do what is right,” the Governor added.

He wished the Muslim faithful in the State and across the country a happy Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
